1213311 - Gecko needs to know about offload metadata

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: GonkIntegration, defect)

Description

[Adam Farden [:adfad666]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.101 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

CAF has a patch for Android to disable media offload for certain types of media, based on its metadata. The patch appeared in Android 4.4 KitKat, but it was reverted for Gecko builds based on KitKat.

However later versions of Android, including CyanogenMod 12.1 are too far down the rabbit hole to make reverting easy, so Gecko will eventually need to be patched to handle the metadata.

(A quick check shows that this patch is not present in AOSP 6.0 Marshmallow, it is only in CAF from KK onwards.)

Android has ANDROID_VERSION available, CyanogenMod has CM_VERSION available, it comes from vendor/cm so you may need to force it for now, if you build on CM base.

+CM_VERSION := 12.1
